I found this...

David Shuster worked for Fox News for five years, but in 2002, he defected to MSNBC -- in a move opposite to the one made by many others. But he's a nice guy, so we'll forgive him. (Summer 2002)

CNBC claiming "some" bodies are American, but they don't know how many. Take it for what it's worth.

If these turn out to be our POW's it would explain why Iraq had denied the Red Cross from meeting with our POW's.

surprised they didn't kill her too

I think they were planning on using her as a "trophy" POW. Pretty, young, little gal...innocent looking. They could have displayed her, then threatened torture, or brainwashed her into spewing the Saddam line.

Who knows, I'm delighted she's coming home. It's not to far from Pittsburgh where I live so it's a BIG story here this morning.

The military told the family Lynch had "walked into an Iraqi hospital" after going missing, but "we were told nothing else," relative Terri Edwards told Reuters.

This would be rather interesting, given that other news organizations are reporting she had two broken legs.

Why do you pledge allegiance to any of them? Fox, last night, (it was Shep) insisted that the woman who had been released was the one who had been shown being interviewed on Iraqi TV...

I don't think that disgusting saying should be allowed on any thread. There are many other ways to say what you mean.

My apologies. I was highly outraged at what they did last night. They could have, and probably did, create severe grief and heartache unneccessarily for several American families last night with their gross unprofessionalism.

This is a written forum, and sometimes the only way to communicate outrage is with vivid language. Again, if I offended you, I'm sorry.

Absolutely! After Iraqi war criminals are convicted and sentenced to death, the should be fed only pork products and, when taken for their execution, wrapped in the skin of freshly killed pigs. After execution, they should be buried in the pigskins.

I doubt that she walked anywhere because Fox & Friends just showed a video of her rescue and she was carried on a stretcher. She looked scared to death. Her father was just interviewed and he is such a sweet and super guy. She's lucky to have such a wonderful and supportive family.

She wore her combat boots under her prom dress. Her father said that there was never a dull moment around Jessie. lol!

It is more important to MSNBC to be the first reporting the news, whether it is accurate or not.
